Pros

Open door policy (but beware because whatever you tell the higher up are always shared to their "puppets"). Good working environment except when you are not part of the "in" group. Good salary as compared to big 4 audit firms.

Cons

Client base is so small that seniors end up working on the same client for years. Review process needs to be improved and not based solely on the managers professional and sometimes personal view of the person.

Pros

There actually are great people, but you play manager roulette.

Cons

BDO is notorious for promoting people who just never leave. The middle of the road, not great, not awful, people get promoted over and over again. There have been changes every 3 seconds since the ESOP. Terrible communication around change (non-existent). My manager's favorite term was "We are building the plane as we fly it". After 4 years, I was hoping to have more plane built. It was never built.
